 Great blender, OK for smoothies May 11, 2008

I bought this to replace a dying 7 year old Oster blender that didn't even see much use. I use this new blender a few times a week to make smoothies and less frequently for food processing.
I like that this blender is more powerful and has a larger capacity than my old blender. It is attractive and solidly made. I've only had it for a couple of months, but I haven't had the problem with ice that others report. Then again, I use more frozen fruit than ice in my smoothies. My favorite part of this machine is the stir stick. I don't know how I ever got along without one.
My main gripe with this blender is that the smoothie dispenser is more hassle than it's worth. When I start to dispense, there's always a bit of liquid that comes out first that I have to pour it back in. Sometimes the smoothie is too thick and it just doesn't come out, even when I turn the blender on low while dispensing. When I'm done dispensing, it always drips a little on the counter. The dispenser also a bit of a pain to clean as there are five parts to it.
So if you are looking for a good blender, I say go for it. If you are looking to be wowed by a smoothie dispensing dream machine, you might not be as impressed.

I stumbled into this blender while looking for parts to repair my Kitchen Aid. I was able to buy this for less than the repair parts on the KitchenAid! Could not believe my luck in finding this. Smoothie attachment is a stroke of genius; works great so you avoid having to remove the bowl to pour. Totally pleased and you will be too

This really grinds the ice to fine crystals and I love the stirrer. I don't have to stop the machinie, take off the lid, stir the product , put the lid back on etc. I just stir while it is going! I use a lot of ice with my smoothies and this blender creates the perfect consistency. Very happy!

Had this blender for 3 months and the motor died on me. I was having problems that others were having with the blades getting stuck on ice cubes and not turning.
